applied 10/1, oa on 10/13, interview invite on 10/17, interview on 11/1, offer today
ruby zenith
was the last interview behavioral?
trail island
mostly technical
They went over the oa for the first half, then medium lc dp problem second half
Beginning I guess was slightly behavioral, tell them who you are and ask questions about the company and stuff
ruby zenith
oh interesting
that was my first interview
it was just introduce yourself, explain ur oa stuff then mediun lc
I wonder what that means my second will be or if I am done
trail island
Nah I think ur done
When was your interview?
Mine was literally tuesday and got the offer today
For sunnyvale
ruby zenith
literally couple hours ago lol
omg I hope so that would be crazy cuz my interviewer said he thinks im a really good candidate
trail island
What'd u put your location for?
ruby zenith
I said I prefer sunnyvale
trail island
Arkansas has lower pay too
But everyone I know that's gotten an offer is for arkansas
ruby zenith
yeah and im a bay person so 100% prefer to be near home
ruby zenith
o
you'll like it here
i mean its exp af not gonna lie about that
but the food and life is nice imo
trail island
I've been a few times. to stanford, palo alto, google campus etc
But living there will be different
trail island
The housing is in mountain view actually a nice apartment
What part of the bay are u from
ruby zenith
oh wow they give corp housing?
trail island
I have another offer from JPMC
trail island
Yea it's super nice they pay for the flight out there and everything
trail island
oh nice!
Yea, it's here in tampa but I think it's less pay and they don't provide housing or anything
ruby zenith
I see
I actually have an offer im prob gonna take alrdy but im doing some weird thing
trail island
Where from?
trail island
Yea def do that over this lmfao
ruby zenith
if walmart is willing to accomodate spring 2023
ill prob accept that without a doubt as well
trail island
Where you go to school at if u dont mind me asking?
trail island
ahh ok nice
ruby zenith
hbu?
trail island
university of florida
trail island
eh it's alrighttt I mean cs here is nothing special at all but it is a good school for the most part
I know plenty of people at amazon from here tho and google, apple, etc
most of them are in seattle area
ruby zenith
yeah school doesn't have to be great
its personal ambition
yeah I was in seattle last summer haha
trail island
oh 100%. school for undergrad is irrelevant
ruby zenith
exactly!
trail island
Like being at a good school gives you a slight edge I guess
but nothing more than that
trail island
santa cruz isnt far from the bay is it? Isn't it by the beach or something
ruby zenith
like they have some pretty nice courses here like fullstack and dist systems
yeah it is!
is not*
im from the bay so the transition to college was easy lmao
trail island
also school determines what u can learn
for sure. getting a phd tho that's where the college matters a lot more
imo I'd kinda want to go somewhere world class if I was to ever go that route
ruby zenith
yeah true could prob work on some pretty sick things at like MIT or Berkeley
trail island
Yea exactly, there's crazy innovation there
ruby zenith
yeah always hear about something in class that came from berkeley lol
trail island
one of my professors is from berkeley and her mentor literally is the godfather of relational databases lmfao
trail island
you a junior now?
ruby zenith
yeah about to be a senior
trail island
Nice nice same
ruby zenith
this your last internship then right?
trail island
But I'm surprised I was able to get some offers
Yea feels good, I've been programming since like middle school but I never had any professional experience or anything before
ruby zenith
damn
I started in like senior year of HS
thank god I enjoyed it cuz i wouldnt know what to pursue otherwise
lmfao
but yeah it was nice talking to you man, thanks for the info. Hope you enjoy your internship (wherever u end up) and if you're in sunnyvale next summer feel free to hmu
trail island
but yeah it was nice talking to you man, thanks for the info. Hope you enjoy you...
thanks bro you too. Ill add u on here fs!
trail island
thank god I enjoyed it cuz i wouldnt know what to pursue otherwise
and same lmao. I took a break cause I was a stupid freshman who didn't know what to do and I hated the classes I was in (they weren't cs related) so I switched majors. Then came back to cs once I realized that that was what I fully wanted to do
